Description
RESTORE: A Pathway Back to First Love A Companion Book for the RESTORE Renewal Seminar
Faithful on the outside. Spiritually flat on the inside?
You’ve served, endured, and stayed committed — yet the fire and joy you once knew in your walk with Christ have quietly faded. Good things (duty, performance, and religious activity) have slowly displaced your first love.
Jesus’ words to the church at Ephesus cut straight to the heart today: “Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.” (Revelation 2:5)
In this honest, deeply practical book, pastor and hospice bereavement specialist Bobby Bressman shares his own journey through multiple heart attacks and spiritual displacement while guiding you through a proven 7-phase biblical pathway back to vibrant faith.
Perfect for both seminar use and standalone personal growth.
You will:
- Map your full life story with God through the powerful RESTORE Story Map
- Identify and overcome your primary spiritual drift (Approval, Appetite, or Ambition)
- Rediscover the lost language of lament and reclaim truth at the Cross
- Uncover your Two-Word Calling, unique design, and Kingdom contribution
- Build a sustainable Rule of Life and Horizon Planner for lasting renewal
Each chapter includes embodied breath prayers, reflection questions, and real-life stories that make renewal personal and practical.
Whether you’re reading alone for personal growth, with a small group, or alongside the live or recorded RESTORE Renewal Seminar, this book will help you move from spiritual plateau back to a heart fully alive in Christ.
The One who began the good work in you is not finished.
Start your journey back to first love today.
